PHP Sessions

#1 (**permalink**) 01-25-2004

Hi

I'm having trouble getting sessions to work on my server.

It's working on my univeristy account so I assume that there is nothing
wrong with the code.

This is what my phpinfo(); is on my server
http://victor.is-a-geek.com/about/

This is what the phpinfo(); is on the university server
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~louiev/index.php

Any help would be good. I'm running PHP 4.3.4, Apache 1.3 and Redhat
9.0 on my server.

There some simple code on the top for a simple counter...pushing refresh
updates the number on the unversity server but not mine.

Thanks
Victor

Dear victor,

what kind of error get you (use: error_reporting(E_ALL))?

Maybe not the session handling itself is the problem. I have noticed
that
you have on your server register_globals Off. On your uni server,
register_globals is On! Maybe this affect your script.

Keep in mind that register_globals off is recommend, and you should
not turn
it on!

Hi

It's not really an error...its just that sessions don't seem to be
working.

I figure it wasn't the code. This is the counter code up on the top:

<?php
session_start();
session_register('hits');
++$hits;
?>

<html>
<head><title>this is stupid</title></head>

<body>
<p> This page has been viewed <?= $hits; ?> times. </p>
</body>

</html>

Hi again,

I've installed PHP and Apache on another computer in my house and I get
this error now. It's installed on a Win XP machine.

Any idea on how to fix this one?

Any help is good...

Thanks
Victor

Sorry the error is this

Warning: session_start():
open(/tmp\sess_98ead586446f05cd8679b98d2671af2c, O_RDWR) failed: No such
file or directory (2) in E:\index.php on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already
sent by (output started at E:\index.php:2) in E:\index.php on line 2

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers
already sent (output started at E:\index.php:2) in E:\index.php on line 2

Thanks

Edit your php.ini file, and make session.save_path=c:/windows/tmp or
whatever folder you like. Afterwards you lookup why it is a good idea to
have a different session.save_path for each user (will be mentionned in
every document on php and security i guess)

Be sure that you not send any other header (e.g. html tags ) befor you have
handled your sessions.

You can also use buffering, and your HTTP Headers will get put at the top
for you when it does the output.
